Power internet, 3000 kbps up 3000 kbps down.
After sometime of using this connection. I think it's the best EVER. I'll never go back to Time-Warner cable. I get no lag what so ever and nothing(bandwidth) is shared with surrounding community, unlike Time-Warner.

CVG: Delta and Comair news
New Details About Possible Delta Pilots' Strike The Delta Pilot Union's Master Executive Council says if the pilots contract is voided in bankruptcy court or management begins imposing terms, the pilots have the right to strike. Bankruptcy statutes say if a court has not ruled within 30 days of the start of hearings, management may impose the terms in its request. December 16th represents the end of those 30 days. On Thursday afternoon, the representatives of Delta's pilots voted unanimously to ballot the pilot group to authorize a strike. The timing of a ballot was left to the discretion of the chairman.

Cincinnati: West Chester - Ikea Coming to Union Centre
This was dated June 24th, but i just happen to find it. Sweden's Ikea scouting sites in southwest Ohio LISA BIANK FASIG and DAN MONK DBJ Contributors Several southwestern Ohio retail developers are competing to win one of Sweden's hottest imports. But alas, Ikea's dance card might be full. Real estate sources say the pocketbook-friendly furniture chain has been "in the market," actively scouting sites at Union Center Boulevard in Butler County and the Auto Nation property in Hamilton County's Forest Park. The retailer has gotten so many proposals that a spokesman said it is looking for a service to filter its many local inquiries. Even the uninitiated want an Ikea. "I don't know who the hell they are, but I'm willing to sell it to them," Jeff Wyler said. But Ikea, which has gained a national following by combining fashion with function in everything from couches to shower curtains, said it has no short-term plans to open in Cincinnati, or Ohio for that matter. "We're evaluating Cincinnati, just as we are evaluating other markets across the country, but we have not committed to a timeframe whatsoever," Ikea spokesman Joseph Roth said.

Could Hispanics be the key to Ohio's future growth?
I just got back from Florence? And i saw quite a few latins down there, even some new ones that just just moved here there Tenn. Wait let me break that down. I saw a couple of Mexicans and the Latino's from Tenn. you can kinda tell from the darker skin color that they were Mexican. Mexican's .Hispanic's and latin's seem to be the same race. But Latin's do not want to be generalized as being Hispanic or Mexican, from what i have read.

Could Hispanics be the key to Ohio's future growth?
Here is something that heckles found out about immigration. from SP. Here's a few metro areas to look at statistically. Houston, TX: http://www.censusscope.org/us/m3360/chart_race.html As you can see, only 45,000 of the 1 million people who settled in Houston were caucasian between 1990-2000. Barely 120,000 were african american. The vast majority are hispanics which are primarily immigrants. The "old south" region with cities like Charlotte, Atlanta are growing less because of immigration, but the trends are still there: Charlotte, NC: http://www.censusscope.org/us/m1520/chart_race.html As you can see, fully 60,000 of Charlotte's growth over the past decade was hispanic in nature, which is a good portion. Atlanta, GA: http://www.censusscope.org/us/m520/chart_race.html When you look at Atlanta a great deal of its increase in population (over 1/3rd) is hispanic in nature. Tampa, FL: http://www.censusscope.org/us/m8280/chart_race.html Same situation, only hispanic immigration counted for roughly half the total growth. Not all hispanic numbers are clear, its true a number of the hispanic population has been born here and moved elsewhere in the nation, but its still predominantly immigration at this point. If these numbers are any indication, Pittsburgh is not growing because of lack of immigration incentive. The best example is Chicago. http://www.censusscope.org/us/m1600/chart_race.html Chicago grew almost entirely because of hispanic immigration, and in fact caucasian numbers dropped between 1990-2000. Pittsburgh would be better served by setting up foreign business marketing in places such as Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America to promote itself outside our own boundaries. Maybe the city should bargain to bring several foreign consulate offices to the city and setup marketing shops in cities like Santiago, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Shanghai, Tokyo, Moscow, Cape Town, etc. This is why very successful cities like Toronto are what they are - they are immigration points.

Could Hispanics be the key to Ohio's future growth?
Latino's make up 13% of the US population now. They have now passed blacks as the #1 minority group in the USA, yet they only make up 2% of the Ohio popualation. Do you think drawing more hispanic's to Ohio maybe a key to keep our state healthy as far as diversity and the economy. Oh btw Latino women are the most beautiful women i've ever seen..;)
